Default Exhaust tips
Dose anyone make a round exhaust tip that fits around the oval tips? I don't want to remove the stock tips, just bolt on some round ones.

Those tips require removal of the factory "wimp tips"....Nobody that Im aware of makes something that will fit over the wimp tips..

True - my bad. Didn't see that statement. No one I know makes a set for the '01-'04. I have seen over-the-tip set-screw type for '97-'00 but that's it.

Thanks for your help. I will see about removing the stock tips, and saving them in case I want to go back to all original parts.

You will probably have to use a chisel to cut through the welds holding the tips on.

I recommend Corsa Hot Tips, but they are expensive (~$129). Here is a picture of them installed on a 1998:

Well worth the money. They look great. That's exactly what I want. Thank you for the picture of your beautiful C5.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but havent found any vendors that sell them.

What years did the oval tips come on? I saw a '00 yesterday with the big round ones (stock)...

NO C5 Corvette came stock with big round tips...The 97-99 came with ugly black tips...the 2000-2004 came with the small oval Cadillac "wimp tips"...

The Corsa Hot Tips are now up to $149, ZIP sells them, here is a link:

http://www.zip-corvette.com/Zip/prod...tm_medium=base

Thses are heavy duty stainless steel polished tips that look like chrome. They hold up very well, mine are 5 years old and look new.

I am not sure how they would fit a 2001-2004 without the chrome oval tips? Look inside your tips, you probably have the same "ends" as a 1997-2000 exhaust, I bet they just welded the chrome tips over these.

These were on the car when I bought it in Nov. They have spring clips and push over the oval pipes.

Get the ones from Corsa. Beautiful. I got tons of compliments on mine before I installed my GHL's.
